Dave Stamey with Annie Lydon – CD Review

Dave Stamey has been bucked off and stomped by many horses, stepped on by mules and dragged around branding pens by angry cattle of various sizes. He’s ridden in the rain, in the snow, in the rain some more, in pretty nasty heat and in feedlot pens where the air was decidedly fragrant. He’s even wrangled dudes. Dave is an entertainer now, writing and singing about his experiences, and finds he prefers this.
